Dear Friends,
It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that we
welcome you to our 17th Annual Harvest of Excellence production sale! We feel extremely honored
that you have taken the time to view our cattle either in person, online by picture or video or through
this catalog. So far we have had a beautiful grain
harvest and we believe the same can be said of our
calf crop. We have all been working very diligently
on this set of females and it is by no stretch that we
can honestly say the quality runs deep. Again we
have been very fortunate to be involved with Jerry
Adamson and the Rockn J Ranch. Our part of the
world is by no means considered “cow country” but
Jerry and his crew have given us the opportunity to
promote our genetics through our embryo program
and place them out in the sand hills of Nebraska.
We feel our genetics are superior when it comes
to the show ring as well as producing great ones
down the road. We are very proud of our donor
cows and also the bulls that we have raised. We
have some Who Da Man, Swag, Man Up and Man
on a Mission daughters that we think speak for
themselves. Our bulls are proving themselves in
today’s very competitive industry. We are dedicated to producing the highest quality seedstock in the
market today and in doing so bring forth excellence
for our clients.
Our family is very important to us and that is why
we value you our customer and our relationship
with you. We are here to help you as you purchase
a calf and take them on down the road whether it
be to the Junior Nationals, North American, State,
Jackpot shows, your county fair or your pasture.

Our daughter Hannah has been very blessed to
have had much show ring success. She will be
exhibiting for the last time as a junior next month at
the North American in Louisville. She loves working
with youth. Her and our entire crew will be here to
answer any and all of your questions from feeding
to dressing for the show. As you succeed we do as
well.
As always there are many people we would like to
thank. First and foremost we want to thank God
for the blessings he has given us and to Him all of
the praise and glory. We want to thank our family
and close friends who have given us so much love
and support. We would not be where we are today
without them. So THANK YOU from the bottom of
our hearts (you know who you are)!
We want you to consider this your official invitation
to our 17th annual sale. We invite you to come
have lunch with us starting at 11:00 am. Sale starts
at 1:00 PM. Cattle will be on display at our farm
all fall and at the fairgrounds beginning Thursday
of sale week. We look forward to seeing you and
working with you this next year!
Blessings,

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT...
A SPECIAL THANKS TO & PEOPLE WE
JUST COULDN’T DO WITHOUT...

We are so excited about Swag’s first set of
babies and this one is this cow’s natural calf.
This female puts so many things together that
are hard to combine. Her added mass and
body volume is incredible when you consider
one can be this perfect structured. And as
you can tell by her picture she is awesome to
look at too.

Daughters

We are absolutely ecstatic to be starting this year’s catalog with this young donor’s progeny.
Abby is truly something special. She is what we are striving for as an operation. Sound,
functional, and easy fleshing with an awesome look. You will be able to tell just how good this
cow is, and how excited we are when you see these four females up close.

Lots 1B -1D are 3 full sibs by Monopoly
out of our Abby donor. These three
females as well as their maternal sister
combine so much in terms of shear
quality. These three females all combine
todays show ring look, with some added
dimension and power. We like all three
and are not sure which one is the best,
come take a look and you decide.

Ashton 221A
Sire: Man Up ▪ Dam: DSUL Ashton
(Full of 602 x Heat Seeker x 6651)
DOB: 02-21-2013 ▪ Registered Chi: 6.29%
This powerful beast has been one of our very
favorites since birth. Her look and presence are so
commanding and when you combine that with all of
her dimension, center body and power, she quickly
becomes unique.

Blue Berry 216A
Sire: Swag ▪ Dam: Rose
(Brutus x Timeless Rose)
DOB: 02-16-2013 ▪ Registered ShorthornPlus &
Low Percent Chi 3.025%
What a wonderful Shorthorn Plus this one is. It
is hard to make them this angular and correct
structurally while still putting this much look and
body in one. This female’s potential is unlimited;
she will run hard now or later. Let the fun begin.

I could absolutely talk about the Ace donor for days. She has
quickly become the most influential cow in our program. This
female works no matter what bull you mate her to. As you
will be able to tell we will try her to a variety of bulls. This
cow has already raised countless High seller and females
that went on to win, not to mention the National Champion
chi bull in 2012.

These two Who da Man daughters are absolutely incredible. Even though they are a little different in their
build they are both something to write home about. These females are so sound, functional and easy to
look at and did I mention, anything you breed them to, you will still have a chi that is over 6.25%. Now
that’s hard to find these days, quality and High percentage chis. Stay ahead of the curve with these two.

This beautiful stripe faced female is absolutely a genetic gem.
Having one that dual registers as she does is so rare. Think
about the endless opportunities you will have mating this one.
Oh and did I mention she is way good too. This heifer is so well
balanced, sound and powerful; it will make your head spin. She
is the kind that hangs banners and raises the high sellers we all
desire.

This Man up female is so fun to look at. When you think of that
ideal looking one this may be her. 323A’s look and power is
crazy, with all of the hair you would ever want in one. Give this
one a little time and the banners could be endless.

Ace 418A
Sire: Swag ▪ Dam: Rockn Ace 36U
DOB: 04-18-2013 ▪ Registered Chi: 12.06%
The Swag heifer is this youngest of the sisters but don’t hold that
against her. This one is so broody and functional, and sound
it’s hard to believe. We think this one is the kind to run all winter
long and still make a killer junior national and state fair one.

When you think about a female being a big time contender at
the majors this surely has to be one of them. Perfect structured
and elegant with loads of volume and mass easily describe this
January born female. As you can see she is
a full sib to a Harvest of Excellence previous
High seller that not only won a lot of banners
but more importantly has been raising the kind
that wins big and sell high. As a bonus this one
is TH free by pedigree.

We are very fortunate to have owned Who Da Man and his line
of genetics. This female is out of his full sister. When we think
of making a perfect mating this could be it to make a show cow.
Taking all of the mass and power of Monopoly and combining it
with that wow look of her mother, the result was awesome and
here she is.

Sunflower 419A
Sire: I-80 ▪ Dam: FBF Sunflower
DOB: 04-19-2013 ▪ Reg. Chi 18.74% and MaineTainer 50%
First thing I can say about this one is, is wow. She is so good
looking it is scary. Her added structural correctness and eye
appeal make her truly a rare one to have. The other amazing
thing is no matter what you mate this one to you will always have a
Chi and a Maintainer.

Sire: Swag ▪ Dam: FBF Sunflower
DOB: 03-16-2013 ▪ Registered Chi 21.7%
I know this is only Swag’s first calf crop but these cattle are good.
This is Sunflowers natural and we were ecstatic with her at birth.
This female has long term written all over her. She not only has
the ability to go and play now but wait until she is a big one. Oh by
the way take a look at the chi percentage this one offers.

This char composite female is made for the long
haul. She is so good at the ground with that
awesome show ring look and presence. This one
will be a lot of fun no matter where you want to show
her. Also think about how hot the smoky thing is
right now, for raising them in the future.

This female is an absolute load. Moderate, sound
and functional easily describe this one. The donor
potential here is unlimited. It is hard to find High
percent Maine’s with this much body, and fleshing
ability.

This April female is one that gets us excited.
She has all of the pieces to be a national level
contending female. She is so sound, functional with
an awesome look. Hannah showed this females
mother and did a lot of winning, including division
champion at Louisville and Denver. As a bonus this
one is TH and PHA free by Pedigree.

Ms Rockn Candy
(Eye Candy x Chiangus)

This young donor has been so influential in our program. Her first calf was
a promotional bull purchased by Trausch Farms named Blue Print. In her
second year she was the mother of the lot 1 Females that went on to be
very successful for the Wisnefski family of Illinois. This cow seems to work
in many different ways, but none better than to Man Up. As you will be
able to see by these four females this was an awesome flush.

We think all of these females are extremely good but different in type and kind. Honestly I think
that is a good thing because quality comes in many different packages. With that being said all
four still are so sound and great to look at with a huge rib cage. We are not sure which one is the
best because each day we like a different one. Bid with confidence here, these are already proven
genetics.

Full Sister

This double registered female is certainly one of
our favorites. She has been a stand out all the way
through. Her added femininity, structural soundness
and profile make her extra special. If you have been
to any of our previous sales you know the Glitter
name has been so good to us over the years. This
heifer calf is no different.

We have been lucky to be involved with Everett
Thom over the years. The two females in this year’s
sale are definitely some of the best he has ever
raised. This February female is so massive and
functional with all the brood cow look you would
ever want in one. She has what it takes to not only
compete at a high level but also to make a front
pasture donor when it’s all said and done.

This female obviously is a direct daughter of the famous Lucy cow
for Dunk Cattle Co. We have been very fortunate to have a full
sib and many maternal sibs to this female that have been very
successful. This maintainer heifer has cow power written all over
her with today’s show ring look. Her value will be incredible not
only today but for many years to come.

What an eye appealing great structured purebred female this is.
Her added quality and femininity make this one very special to
us. Not to mention this female’s dam is the Mother to Man on a
Mission and CF Upgrade the recent $36,000 bull sold at Cates
Farms. Cow Power Here.

Nevada 222A
Sire: In Dew Time ▪ Dam: 6807 x Nevada Nights
DOB: 02-22-2013 ▪ Registered Half Blood Simmental
When we think about finding a female that has the ability to raise
one this heifer would certainly come to the top of our list. It is
hard to make one this sound and big bodied and still have a half
blood be this attractive from the side.

Miss Lucy's Mission
Sire: Man On A Mission ▪ Dam: Heat Wave x Lucy
DOB: 02-23-2013 ▪ Registered Chi: 7.5%
This is Man On A Missions first calf crop and we are very happy
with him. This female is built like the rest of the Who Da Man line
of cattle. Great structured and built to go the distance. We love
this females extra femininity and soundness and as a bonus she is
TH free by pedigree.

This high Maine female is what we are after. What a look she
has with all of the bone and power you would ever need. She is
a little green today but give this one a little time and she will be
a big time player in the very near future. Did I mention that this
female’s grandmother was National Champion Female.

Shedaisy 403A

These two females are from the Rockin J Ranch, and we love them both. Their mother is a famous
Deiter Bros. cow that Jerry bought in there dispersal. The Denver Magic cow works to absolutely
everything and especially Eye Candy. These two have the look and balance combined with the
body and structural correctness to do big things.

WINEGARDNER HARVEST OF EXCELLENCE SALE

Sire: Monopoly ▪ Dam: Shedaisy (Impulse)
DOB: 04-03-2013 ▪ Registered Chi: 15.8%
Over the years the Shedaisy cow of Rockn J’s has been not only
good to him but good to us. This female may be the best one to
date. What an incredible look she has with all of her added extension. This heifer not only has the power and structure of her
mother but has that today show ring look of Monopoly.

This is the youngest female in the sale but don’t hold that against
her. There is lots of quality in this female from head to toe. Give
this one a little time and she will be a player.

These two females are a Harvest of Excellence success story.
Mcevoy Farms purchased their mother a few years back and
she has made a wonderful cow for them. Both of these heifers
are easy on the eyes. They are functional, sound, and cowy,
with a killer look. Think about what all their grandmother has
accomplished and the future these two have.

This young heifer calf is out of Hannah’s show heifer
from last year that she showed very successfully. This one has future written all over her. She is
classy in her look and sound at the ground. This
one will get better every day.

This is an extremely high quality maintainer female here. Even
though she is young we feel this one has as much potential as
any. We are in love with the look, balance and structural soundness this one has.

27

This is a wild colored maintainer that will definitely
catch the judge’s eye. With that being said she is
so well balanced, with great rib shape and structural
correctness.
